Game Of Thrones Season 6: Predicting The Entire Plot In 10 Steps

Moments like the one above completely rock any certainty we have about the upcoming Game Of Thrones Season 6. I mean, WHAT?! As Bran Stark said in the initial teaser: "They have no idea what's going to happen." HBO have been more tentative about releasing information this time around, with press copies to be withheld, security tightened (to an extent) around the sets, and teasers that really are just brief glimpses as opposed to anything substantially spoiler-filled. Yet still, using the promotional photos, the short trailers, and a quick sprinkling of some yet-to-be-used book plots, we can gradually begin to build a picture of what Season 6 could look like. So sit back and enjoy Game Of Thrones weeks before the rest of the world as I predict the entire plot of Season 6 with absolutely certainty (or make an enormous fool of myself when Jon doesn't come back to life, as Benjen Stark, Stoneheart, and the White Walkers return to crush the entirety of Westeros in S6E1...)

10. Oldtown

We're yet to see Oldtown but it could play host to some incredibly important scenes in Season 6. Sam and Gilly's journey from the North to the South should follow the book idea that they sail around the rim of Westeros (albeit without Maester Aemon who died earlier in the series) knowing that their time on the boat could be the last time they'll be able to resemble an actual couple. The show could omit Sam's irrelevant-yet-cool detour across to Braavos, meaning that we may not see much of them in the first half of the season, but upon arrival in Oldtown, things should heat up. Sam will be torn over what to do with Gilly, with one idea to safely disguise her at Horn Hill, where he was born, and another to hide her in Oldtown. He'll be deciding all of this while making the White Walkers' presence (and their weakness) known to as many top officials as possible. Sam's storyline won't be game-changing, but it will end on a knife-edge with the emergence of his father, Randyll Tarly. Expect a big reunion which will throw his life into serious peril. Cliffhanger.
